Hello -
I am trying to grok how two X authority files get created and who/what 
is responsible for creating them. I have a script for starting up the 
x11vnc service and it needs to find the X authority file and looks for 
it in one of two places. The first location it looks for it is at 
/run/user/1000/xauth_* and if my script finds it there then my script 
assumes it is running on an OpenSuSE 15.4 or later system
Instead of assuming the openSUSE version, just find it out:

cer@Telcontar:~> . /etc/os-release ; echo $VERSION
15.5
cer@Telcontar:~>
